MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) is now hot on the tracks of two suspects and a syndicate in the killing of vlogger Mima Alicia.
“We are hot on their tracks. We’re still following them now,” PNP public information chief Col. Allen Rae Co told reporters in a chance interview at Camp Crame on Tuesday.
“We’ve identified the suspects behind the killing of the Caloocan City vlogger. Most probably, they are syndicate members or were hired by a syndicate to kill Alicia,” he added.
“We’re still profiling them and their previous activities. One of them has multiple prior cases,” he said.
Co, however, declined to provide further details on the identities of the two suspects and the alleged syndicate behind the killing as operations were still ongoing.
Alicia was gunned down by a motorcycle-riding tandem early Friday morning in Caloocan City.
Co said they were also looking at the possible connection of the vlogger’s previous relationship to her death.
The PNP is now coordinating closely with Alicia’s family for their safety, as well as the preparation of criminal cases against the suspects.
